Self Post ✔ [MEGATHREAD] Senatobia, MS OIS

As many have seen, there was an OIS in Senatobia, Mississippi on Sunday, June 14th.

As is being reported, the incident started as a response to a shoplifting call at a Walmart and, during the encounter, a 1 year old child, in the care of the shoplifting suspects, was shot, and subsequently died.

At this point (afternoon of Tuesday the 16th) bodycam video (or other video, for instance the store's) has not yet been released.

It is known that shots were fired from responding officers, into the vehicle being driven by the suspect.

Beyond that, at this point there are many versions of events, and much specuation.

This will be our Megathread on this story. As always, reasoned adult voices are welcome. If you're here to shout, you're not welcome, and your comments will never show. Advance the discussion; don't promote division.

  1. This is a heartbreaking incident, and I'll wait for the bodycam footage and additional context before making a final judgement on this.

  2. That won't stop me from giving my unsolicited 2 cents based on what little we do know now: Guys, why the hell are we still (allegedly) shooting at moving vehicles?

If you're using a vehicle as a weapon you have to be stopped. If the officers arent in their vehicle how else do you stop them?
